Answer:

Letter c is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

A present participle is also known as a verb that has been added -ing to the base form. Their main function is as and adjective, such as "swimming pool" or "drinking water", meaning that the water is not being drunk or that the pool has the ability to swim. In letter a, having is the auxiliary for present perfect and not and adjective; option c does not include any present participle at all; according to the position in the sentence, shouting describes the noun coach, making it a general characteristic of the noun (a person, in this case) and not an action at the moment of speaking, and that is why letter B is the correct option.
